Nancy was sitting opposite Simon. After hearing what he said, her small body unconsciously reached out to Simon across the dining table, but she didn't show any sense of oppression at all: "Aren't you worried that Blockbuster Entertainment will threaten Danielle in the future? Silk Entertainment’s film business?”
Simon smiled and said: "If you have two children, would you worry that the second child is better than the first child?"
Nancy felt the smile of a guy across from her, and the little body she had just leaned forward subconsciously retracted a little, and said: "This is obviously different."
Simon shrugged: "It's the same to me."
Although Daenerys Entertainment only holds 35% of Blockbuster's shares, as long as Simon does not give up voluntarily, control of the company will be firmly in his hands for a long time to come.
Simon's attitude towards business management has never changed.
No company can prosper forever. Rather than being replaced by others, it is better to replace yourself.
Daenerys Entertainment has reached a peak in the film business, and the next step is just to hold on to its position as much as possible. However, if it cannot hold on, or if it inevitably declines in the future, Simon also hopes that Daenerys Entertainment will be replaced by a company in the Westeros system.
Of course, this is actually just an attitude.
Simon is not pessimistic about the development prospects of Daenerys Entertainment. Relying on the large number of IP copyrights he holds, it will not be a big problem for the three direct brands of Daenerys Entertainment to continue to prosper for 20 years.
What Blockbuster Entertainment really wants to devour is the living space of several other Hollywood studios.
Nancy also quickly sorted out Simon's thoughts.
The key is that the two of them are in different positions. The man in front of them has already stood at the top of the Hollywood pyramid. Not only Daenerys Entertainment, but also MGM, Blockbuster, and even Time Warner and Paramount are all working together. The Westeros system has very close interests.
Although Daenerys Entertainment is already very powerful, what Simon values more is the control and influence of the Westeros system on the entire Hollywood.
This is like the recently launched AOL portal.
If given a choice, the Eaglet team would definitely do everything possible to prevent AOL from launching its portal business, and if the guy on the other side wanted to stop it, it would be even easier.
However, instead of doing this, he actively opened the door for AOL to launch its portal.
The reason is also easy to understand.
Just like several children in a big family, no matter how they compete, they are still one family.
Of course, the opinions of the eldest, second, or third child are not so important to parents who want the family to prosper. Or, the parents may actively provoke competition among the children to prevent them from enjoying themselves. The advantages fall into a situation of not wanting to make progress.
Thinking of this, Nan hoped to Simon and said, "In that case, can you give some of the copyrights you have collected over the years to Blockbuster Entertainment?"
Simon smiled and said: "Which one do you like?"
Nancy blinked: "Tolkien series."
"Don't make trouble."
"How stingy," Nancy condemned, her arms unknowingly placed on the dining table again, and her body tended to lean forward, as if she subconsciously wanted to put some pressure on the guy opposite: "Then help us pick a few. Ministry."
In fact, Nancy has personally seen the copyright list stored by Daenerys Entertainment these days.
Relying on the accumulation over the years, Daenerys Entertainment currently has more than 600 scripts, novels and other types of copyrights to be developed. Among them, which ones were personally chosen by Simon, and which ones were purchased by the copyright departments of various brands. Can't tell the difference at all.
The Tolkien series is of course just a joke.
The reason why Blockbuster Entertainment hired Robert Shea and the Weinstein brothers was because of their operating experience in the field of low-cost independent films. In the short term, Blockbuster Entertainment will only be involved in projects with a budget of less than US$30 million. mid- to low-cost projects.
Simon thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Not yet, you let them choose by themselves first, and then send it to me for help."
Nancy said dissatisfied: "You just said you would treat everyone equally."
"Yes, Danny and Ella are doing this. I am now a person who can earn 700 million US dollars a day. Do you think it is appropriate to let me, the boss, do everything?"
Nancy couldn't help but correct: "$698 million."
"Okay, I am now a person who can earn 698 million US dollars a day. Do you think it is appropriate to let me, the boss, do everything?"
“…”
Simon looked at Nancy's depressed expression with a smile, looked at his watch, and said, "It's almost time. Your high heels from last time are still in my office. Come on, follow me and take them away yourself."
Nancy remembered the last time she bit him on the chin, her face turned slightly red, her eyes widened and she said, "Is this how you lie to women?"
"Okay, let's go through the process," Simon suddenly leaned forward and said, "What perfume did you wear today? It's very good."
"I won't tell you."
"Actually, I know, Dior Sweetheart Light Fragrance, right?"
“…”
"It seems that your mentality has changed obviously recently. You used to wear Chanel, and it was Chanel No. 19 that can give men the most oppressive feeling."
“…”
"I suddenly remembered that there is indeed a good script. Why don't we go to my office and have a chat."
Nancy wanted to cover her hot face, just because a certain guy discovered the recent change in the smell of her perfume.
Moreover, she was not even aware of this.
Since the last incident, she has been very cold in front of him these days. However, the perfume... God, it must have been discovered long ago.
asshole!
"I… "
Forced to make a fierce expression, Nancy threatened: "I will really bite you until you bleed this time."
"It doesn't matter. A man will always be bitten by a woman a few times in his life, otherwise he will be a complete failure."
"You have such an evil expression. You must have no good intentions."
Simon immediately turned serious: "Speaking of which, Egg came to my office yesterday and said that the artwork I picked recently was really creative and cute."
Nancy was stunned for a moment: "What kind of artwork?"
"A pair of black high-heeled shoes, size 4, a very small and cute size, but I guess they are a bit too big, because the girl who wears these shoes always likes to take off her shoes everywhere."
"You, my shoes, a work of art?"
"Yeah, I put it on my desk."
"abnormal!"
“…”
"Foot fetish."
"I admit this."
"jerk."
"Be a lady and don't say bad words."
"Give me my shoes back."
"Go to my office and get it."
"No."
"Then I will continue to display it and wait for Cinderella to take the initiative to claim it."
"I told Jenny."
"This sentence seems familiar."
"?"
"Jenny often threatens me like this too."
“…”
"Okay, the procedure is over, do you want to go get your shoes?"
"No."
Seeing that Nancy's petite face had turned into a red apple, Simon did not dare to continue teasing and surrendered: "Okay, the procedure failed. I will ask A to send the shoes back to you later."
The man took the initiative to 'submit', and Nancy suddenly gained some momentum and said with a little ridicule: "You seem to be very horny recently."
"Well, men can't use that word."
"It's the same anyway," Seeing that the taunting was effective, Nancy continued her attack and said, "Because the Jennys are pregnant?"
"I'm going to correct you again. You can't use plural names. It seems you still need more practice in your English."
"Hmm."
"Now, it's already a quarter past one. Go back to work. It's very bad to slack off in front of the boss."
"Hum hum."
"What does 'hem hum' mean?"
“I don’t know, I think I saw Jenny using it, so I gave it a try.”
"You are Nancy, keep your own personality and don't be like Jenny."
"Hum hum."
"This time it looks nothing like a pig."
"you are a pig."
"Forget it, I'm going back to the office first. Seeing how vividly you hummed just now, you can order another lunch. I'll treat you."
"Nonsence!"
"Tsk, that's so unladylike."
With a look of disgust on his face, Simon stood up, buttoned his suit, and left the restaurant on his own.
The man disappeared, and Nancy lay on the dining table and buried her face in her arms.
Oh my God!
I must be crazy, why would I want to change my perfume? When did I change my perfume
It was even discovered.
And, that bastard can actually tell the difference between these perfumes.
You don't even care much about it.
Um.
correct.
Damn dandy.
jerk.
He even put his shoes on the desk.
Thinking of this, a pair of small feet under the dining table subconsciously stepped on the pair of high heels that were only size 4 but still looked too big, as if they were worried that someone would suddenly jump out and snatch them away.
…
As the most important premiere of a blockbuster film this summer, a large number of fans have gathered outside the Chinese Theater in Hollywood since the morning, and the entire street is covered with posters of the "Superman" series, large and small.
After the consecutive "Batman Begins", "Batman: The Dark Knight", "The Flash" and "Wonder Woman", as the fifth movie of the DC movie universe, it is also the most popular among the three giants of DC superheroes. Superman, who is no less than Batman, has received enough attention from both his Hollywood peers and the North American media.
Fans are looking forward to this new reboot of "Superman".
From some of the shots released in the early stage, movie fans have already experienced the qualitative leap in special effects in the new "Superman" series compared to the 1970s version.
Many movie fans were originally dissatisfied with Daenerys Entertainment for not using the old version of Superman actor Christopher Reeve. As the film draws closer to its release, most people are just looking forward to it.
This is actually a problem Simon encountered every time Batman or Superman changed roles in his memory.
Before the movie was released, there were all kinds of criticisms, dissatisfaction and protests.
After the movie was released, there were only two words left: It smells so good.
In the final analysis, what everyone is looking at is the comic image of the superhero itself. The specific actor is just a carrier. As long as this 'carrier' is not too terrible in terms of acting and image, it will easily gain the audience's recognition. After all, in the original time and space, even Michael Keaton, the 'Batman' who has no superhero qualities at all, can be recognized. What else is impossible
In comparison, the main creators of the new version of "Superman" selected by Simon, whether it is Brad Pitt who plays Clark Kent or Courteney Cox who plays Lois Lane, have less demand for superhero roles. That said, both the image and acting skills are outstanding enough.
At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the red carpet ceremony of the "Superman" premiere officially began.
The actors who have been confirmed in the DC movie universe series, starting from "Batman" to "Cyborg" which will be released at the end of the year, are all present, including a large number of other Hollywood stars who came to support the whole red carpet ceremony. The audience's screams almost never stopped.
Even before the red carpet ceremony ended, the Facebook social network owned by Igret was already filled with pictures of the red carpet stars from the premiere of "Superman" and quickly became a hot topic.
At seven o'clock, the red carpet ceremony ended.
In the Chinese Grand Theater, when all the guests took their seats and the host made a brief speech, the screening of "Superman" officially began.
On the big screen that lit up, first there was the logo of Warner Bros. Pictures, then there was the scene of Daenerys Entertainment's Phoenix reborn from the ashes, and finally the title of DC Films.
Daenerys Entertainment has no dispute over this sorting of factory labels.
It is customary for film distributors to rank first in the list.
Moreover, as a project fully invested by Daenerys Entertainment, what Warner Bros. can take away is only a 12.5% distribution commission, and most of the profits will go to Daenerys Entertainment. Everyone is a top player in this circle. Even if Warner wants to play some Hollywood ledger and other methods, it is unlikely, unless it wants to break up and part ways.
The movie opens with a magnificent fully CG Kryptonian civil war scene.
Compared to the Krypton scenes in the 1970s and 1980s, which had very low physical settings, the opening sequence of the Kryptonian Civil War in front of you can almost be described as shocking.
In recent years, most of Daenerys' special effects efforts have been in developing special effects technology related to the DC movie universe.
In order to achieve the most realistic effect, while continuing to optimize its own special effects software, Daenerys Entertainment also established a second large-scale rendering farm in Melbourne, Australia. For more than half a year, the main work of the Australian rendering farm has been exclusively for " Superman" and "Cyborg" film services.
Simon has always attached great importance to cost control of the DC movie universe series.
However, in order to achieve the best effect, this first "Superman" has also become the first movie in the DC Cinematic Universe series with a production cost of US$100 million.
For this first "Superman", Simon referred to the plot setting of Zack Snyder's "Man of Steel". Although the special effects are still not up to the technical level of 2013 in the original time and space, they are similar to those of Peter Jackson around 2000. The level of special effects in the "Lord of the Rings" series is already comparable.
In the five-minute opening wedge, Krypton was destroyed in the civil war, Clark Kent was sent to Earth by his parents, and General Zod and his party were also exiled to space.
After the official movie credits, Clark Kent enters adulthood directly.
Along with childhood flashbacks and Clark Kent's adventures, Superman's growth experience and various peculiarities are revealed one by one.
Later, during the adventure of the Antarctic research station, Superman found his origin, the male and female protagonists officially met, and the activation of the Kryptonian spacecraft also summoned the villain General Zod and his party to the earth, and the plot officially began.
